This is just in regards to the technicalities of weapons, which can only help those who have/use them and not the subject at hand, mayhaps could help the lurkers, whatchya think?

I think that the weapons talk is helpful, but I'm like you in not understanding technical lingo. I know that I'm learning about weapons by the postings, even thought I don't understand all of it. If I have a question, I just ask one of the TM weapons experts. I think their posts enhance the scope of personal preparedness that is so important to the thread. It's not my call, but I think weapons talk adds value to TM.

I had to think about this a bit, JP. I ended up going outside for a few minutes to cool off. Since you made the accusation publicly, I'm responding publicly.

Do you really think that I'd deliberately provide information to help the goblins? Do you really think that anything we've discussed WRT firearms tells them anything they don't already know or couldn't find out with a couple mouse clicks?

The only impact it would have on the goblins is to give them pause; they know that they're not dealing with victims here, but those who will introduce them to allah that much sooner.

I don't know if you've noticed, but there are those on the thread that get upset/scared/worried once in a while. If I can empower someone by making a recommendation, or others can through the offer of teaching resources, then I'm all for it.

Everyday, JP, something shows up in the thread to point out the reality that a lot of us are likely going to be on our own. That can be overwhelming. It may be that all some have is what they learn here, be it knowledge of goblin tactics, simple self defense tactics, or self defense firearm resources. I for one don't want to deny anyone here ANY information. I'll certainly answer anything I can via freepmail; if it's general knowledge or advice, it should probably go to the thread.

If you think it's offtopic, that's fine; say so and be done. Please don't ever make unfounded accusations of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I've said my piece. Feel free to fire me if you need to.

Was reading about China tonight when I came across the following - snip:

Industries: iron and steel, coal, machine building, armaments, textiles and apparel, petroleum, cement, chemical fertilizers, footwear, toys, food processing, automobiles, consumer electronics, telecommunications

Now doesn't that sound like a lot of the industries we used to have right here in America not so long ago (and they didn't even include firecrackers!)
